Samoa
Thurs. Nov. 5 and Fri. Nov. 6
Talofa!
We visited Western Samoa and American Samoa on these two days. They are the same in geography and beauty, but different in income and progress. The family is of great importance to them both with chiefs in every family. They live in groups as big as 200 family members. In Western Samoa, the homes are completely open with no doors or windows. In Pago Pago (American Samoa) they have windows and doors and even air-conditioning.They speak the same language but with different dialects.
We found them interesting and learned a lot about the Samoans but we would not return.There doesn't seem to be a push for tourism. They like the peaceful quiet of their island.
Next up will be 2 sea days and then Moorea. :)
